A religious observance practiced in India, Bangladesh and Nepal practiced on the last full moon
day of the lunar month of "Phalguni "in the Hindu calendar, which occurs around the beginning of Spring in
March. It is also practiced by the Indian Hindu/Sikh/Jain diaspora in Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Burma, Maldives, Mauritus and in western countries like the US and
Canada.
It is known as the festival of colors, since Indians celebrate the
day by smearing colored powder on each other as a gesture of brotherhood and goodwill.
Christian extremists (like this
guy "
John Francois" with his misspellings and misgivings about Holi) from the Northeastern parts of India hate this festival because they are illiterate nuts who have been radicalized by racist missionaries from abroad.
